Davids worst songs

by **Melaszka** on Sat Jun 21, 2008 3:16 pm

What a strange thing taste is - Heartbeat and Cover Me With Flowers are amongst my all-time favourites.

My votes for worst:

Backwaters (ruins an otherwise beautiful album, IMO)
I Surrender (or "Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be Lionel Richie")
Godman
God's Monkey

I love Heartbeat too. But I've still not been able to pin down a 'worst' song - partly because I'd have to sit through Ingrid whispering her way through them - *runs*

maybe we should have made a poll

I wouldn't say it's a 'worst song' but Endgame kind of shocked me when I first heard it. It's a great song, but it really sounded like a country song to me!

I think Endgame is one of the best songs he has written both lyrically and musically.

...and melodically as well. I agree that it is one of his best, and I happen to believe that it is the strongest vocal performance I have ever heard from Sylvian. The entire track comes across so natural and unforced.
Endgame is closer to that of a folk song rather than a country tune, but it's common that both styles cross at similar intersections from time to time, so I can completely understand SilverMoon's first impression.

Yeah i agree with you... it is a very unforced vocal... really do like this effort of his

I agree aswell...
I never liked the Sylvian/Fripp album, not as much as I would have liked to do at least.
but this song saved the project, saved these years...

Hurrah! Absolutely Gods! I raise my glass to that statement! I'll bet one of my favourites is one you absolutely can't abide istening to ... hmm!

if we didn't have different opinions all this would be so meaningless.

You don't need much encouragement to raise your glass do you...? :wink:

Only joking. Cheers!
